Jaminbenb Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 threads like this just annoy me. it's hard to trust people when you find out they actually believe dream theater is better than the beatles or something Dream Theater hasn't been good in years...They were fun to listen to way back, but now they're just phoning it in... Portnoy was a nice guy way back when this first started, but his style of playing leaves a lot to be desired anymore (plays a lot of the same licks all over, nothing that stands out, no inventiveness) Petrucci is a great player and should move on with Myung to a different band away from the rest of the guys in it (or just try to reform the old version of the band prior to Portnoy and Sherinian leaving) Don't get me wrong, I think Rudess is an AMAZING player, but he's not the right guy for this band, and I think he should do his own thing...or go back to jamming with Rod Morganstein.... LaBrie's vocals work for this band, but not much else.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narps Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 We're talking about popular artists, so you should be able to understand why some absolute shit music is omitted from this list. Fleetwood Mac above all elseBon JoviColdplayBruce SpringsteenThe Eagles (I hate the f***in' Eagles, man!)Guns N' RosesNirvana - though I love the Foo Fighters and most anything else Dave has doneKornU2Toto - just for you, Segue Most punk rock artists, both from the first wave in the 70's and the sunshine shit from the 90's onwardWinnerCan't agree in the least with Fleetwood Mac especially "above all else". No way no how. I know there are a multitude of Eagles haters all over this place but I mostly enjoy their music even though I couldn't stand it back when they were making most of it.... :codger: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get so tired of the media sucking up to actors, and sports "heros" for their opinions....I don't get why the Kardashians are relevant? Or why anything Angelina Jolie does is newsworthy? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah...the Crue and Ratt were jokes in my circle of (musician) friends! Same with bands like Poison... That was just a BAD era of music!! Buffett and the Dead were unique... They are either a "ya like them or ya don't" kind of thing.... I have to be in the right frame of mind (usually pretty drunk :hail: ) to appreciate what they do...but their stuff can start sounding the same after a while, as well. (and Buffett's marketing thing is starting to rival Kiss) Buffett's stuff EARLY ON was a lot better than his stuff of the past 10-15 years.... I know people that just dig his shows for the party!

bathory Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 I don't get why people are so crazy about foo fighters, they're the most average of average modern radio rock bands out there and it's like they get special treatment because dave was in nirvana and they're not AS BAD as other stuff out there.

I pretty much stopped really liking it when Scenes from a Memory came out...I wasn't that impressed with that whole thing. Everything before that was great, and I was totally thrilled when they put out some of the older concerts (and demos/outtakes) with the "Official Bootleg" series!! That was a great thing that Portnoy was spearheading (that and the fact that he was into the "bring your recorders and tape" attitude!) I LOVED the whole Falling into Infinity period, and when they did the "sort of unplugged" shows on that tour! After that, the only album I can really listen to is Train of Thought.

Agree. Falling was good too. DT started losing it gradually not long after this. No focused melodies as with I &W, just spiralling songs scales licks, nothing memorable of late.

Rutlefan Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 ^ Second re Muse. At least a couple people have told me that since I love Radiohead I'll love Muse also. Not so much, at all. They seem more like Coldplay doing operatic conceptual arena rock. Yech. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaminbenb Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 I don't get Muse...some of their stuff is borderline decent, but they have a sound that just doesn't quite make it for me....I dunno... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rutlefan Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Bush is one of those bands I think of as "derivative," like Foo Fighters or Garbage, in that they basically present an easily digestible and watered down version of what someone else did as an essential, unique, contribution. Don't hate them, but just saw them as an unobjectionable but unimportant band of their time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
